Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 775) to establish certain 
   procedures for civil actions brought for damages relating to the

transition from the year 1999 to the year 2000, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 775) to establish certain 
procedures for civil actions brought for damages relating to the 
failure of any device or system to process or otherwise deal with the 
transition from the year 1999 to the year 2000, and for other purposes. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate 
shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on the Judiciary. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the bill, 
modified by the amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. No amendment to 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except 
those printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each 
amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report, may 
be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the first time specified in 
the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as specified in the 
report, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The chairman of 
the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during 
further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a 
recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the 
minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed question that 
follow another electronic vote without intervening business, provided 
that the minimum time for electronic voting on the first in any series 
of questions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of 
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the 
Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of 
a substitute made in order as original text. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions.
